The introduction of novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) has widened the treatment options for oral anticoagulation in stroke prevention in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). Guidelines for the management of non-valvular AF have changed to reflect the emerging evidence of their relative safety and efficacy compared with warfarin (see Table 1).1–6

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, affecting more than three million Americans.1 The management of AF revolves around the alleviation of symptoms related to an accelerated and irregular ventricular response, and the prevention of cardioembolism, notably stroke. In patients with AF, there is a fivefold increased incidence of embolic stroke.2 The prevention of systemic…

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is characterised by rapid and irregular heart rates. It is a lifethreatening condition present in up to 1.5 % of the population and accounts for approximately 15 % of all stroke events.1 While relatively unusual in those under 55 years, its incidence increases substantially with age, particularly between the ages of 65…

ENHANCE AF aimed to evaluate whether a shared-decision-making pathway tool would reduce the risk of stroke as a result of atrial fibrillation when compared to standard…
